The last one, where the smoke is rolling off her hand--- I love that.
Photos by candles are something special. Something about the little island of light, it makes the moment captured seem so much more personal.
Mine is a bit less wholesome:

Getting lighting right for this shoot took a lot of futzing. Candle
light in total darkness was the look I wanted, but I wouldn't have had
the dynamic range to shoot it without losing highlight or shadow. I
ended up having to be tricky with some small lights to garner just
enough non-directional fill light to avoid losing all the shadow detail.
Perhaps I shouldn't have said "solely by candle light", just mostly, or something. Youdefinitelygot a better image with a touch more light thrown in.
This is my first post, but I saw this thread after reading a while and
decided that I should upload some pictures I recently took in a room
lit solely by a set of scattered candles. Hopefully I'm uploading these photos correctly.
All are shot with a 40D and Sigma 30mm f/1.4 at ISO 3200. The last shot is mostly candle light but I think the first three are entirely candle light and all were hand held. I often turn my 3200 shots to black and white. I'm not a huge fan of the grain pattern it produces, but at least this way it avoids the colour problems. All feedback is welcomed.
The full set from the night is here on my flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/yonirab/sets/72157623226495874/

*Edit* Had some trouble with the photo size and editing my post above but figured it out. Sorry for this extra post.
